ROSALINE's Lashana Lynch To Replace DeWanda Wise in CAPTAIN MARVEL

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lashana Lynch is in negotiations to replace DeWanda Wise in Captain Marvel, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

The English actress would be joining the Marvel Studios feature after previously announces Wise had to drop out of the project due to scheduling conflicts with the second season of Netflix and Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It.

Filmmaking duo Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are directing the superhero studio's first female-fronted standalone, which stars Oscar-winner Brie Larson. Jude Law and Ben Mendelsohn will also star in the film, which is set in the 1990s and features Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury (with two eyes!).

In the comics, Captain Marvel is the alter ego of Air Force pilot Carol Danvers, who becomes a hero when her DNA is fused with an alien's after an accident.
